Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waterproofing structure for an electric wire terminal.
  • the interface between an electrical appliance and an electric wire terminal has been waterproofed by providing a waterproofing ring.
  • Said waterproofing ring covers an outer peripheral face of an outer sheath of the electric wire and an inner peripheral face of an electric wire insertion hole provided in a housing of the electrical appliance.
  • the present invention has been developed after taking the above problem into consideration, and aims to present a means to waterproof an electric wire terminal in which the space between the electric wire terminal and the housing which houses it is waterproofed reliably.
  • apparatus for sealing an insulated wire in an aperture having inner and outer protective sheaths, characterized in that a resilient tubular member is provided between the inner and outer sheaths to bias the outer sheath against the aperture.
  • the present invention thus provides a means for conforming the outer protective layer of the insulated wire to the shape of the aperture.
  • the tubular member further serves to centralize the wire within the aperture.
  • the apparatus may further comprise a resilient member and a housing wherein the resilient member defines the aperture and is provided within the housing.
  • tubular member is split. This allows the tubular member to be compressed, and hence its cross-sectional dimensions to be reduced, to aid its insertion between the protective layers.
  • the tubular member may be formed from metal or from a plastics material and, in one embodiment, may be integral with a wire end connector.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to Figures 1 to 3.
  • a shielded electric wire 10 is provided with a shielding layer 12 made from braided wire on the inner side of an outer sheath 11, and three insulated wire cores 13.
  • Each insulated wire core 13 comprises a conductor 13A covered by an insulator 13B.
  • the waterproofing configuration of the present embodiment is suitable for use as a terminal which earths the shielding layer 12 of the electric wire 10 to a body 20.
  • a portion of the body 20 has a circular aperture 21 passing therethrough with a holder 30 being located therein.
  • the holder 30 is of a substantially tubular shape which is tapered at its anterior end, its central portion in the direction of its axis having an attachment plate 31 protruding therefrom.
  • a smaller diameter portion 32 located on the anterior side of the attachment plate 31 is inserted into the aperture 21 from the external side (the left side in Figure 1) of the body 20.
  • the attachment plate 31 is brought into contact with the body 20, and a bolt 33 (see Figure 1) is passed through one end of the attachment plate 31, thereby fixing the attachment plate 31 in place by tightening the bolt 33 into a female screw hole 22 formed in the body 20.
  • a rubber ring 34 is provided on the outer peripheral face of a base end member of the small diameter portion 32.
  • the outer peripheral face of the small diameter portion 32 and the inner peripheral face of the aperture 21 thus fit tightly together and result in the open end of the outer side of the aperture 21 being waterproofed.
  • a through hole 35 is provided along the longitudinal axis of the holder 30, the terminal end of the electric wire 10 passing therethrough.
  • the outer sheath 11 is peeled away from the electric wire 10, leaving the shielding layer 12 exposed.
  • the shielding layer 12 is also peeled away, leaving the three insulated wire cores 13 exposed.
  • the electric wire 10 is passed through the through hole 35 from the posterior side (the left side in Figure 1) of the holder 30, with only the insulated wire cores 13 protruding from the anterior end face of the holder 30.
  • the electric wire 10 is waterproofed by a larger diameter member 36 at the posterior side of the holder 30, and is earthed at the anterior side by the smaller diameter portion 32.
  • the smaller diameter portion 32 of the holder 30 houses an earthing member 40 which earths the electric wire 10 within the smaller diameter portion 32.
  • the earthing member 40 is made from an electrically conductive metal plate and, as shown in Figure 2, is provided with a cylindrical tubular portion 41 which is tapered at its anterior end and fits with the smaller diameter portion 32.
  • the posterior end of the tubular portion 41 extends to form a barrel member 42 which, in use, clamps the electric wire 10.
  • the electric wire 10 passes from the barrel member 42 into the tubular portion 41, with only the insulated wire cores 13 protruding from the anterior end of the tubular portion 41.
  • the shielding layer 12 of the electric wire 10 is clamped and fixed in place by the barrel member 42.
  • a pair of resilient lances 43 located at an angle of 180° with respect to each other, are cut out on the peripheral faces of the tubular portion 41, these resilient lances 43 moving resiliently in the diametrical direction of the tubular portion 41.
  • the resilient lances 43 protrude from the holder 30 via a pair of slits 37 formed on the smaller diameter portion 32 of the holder 30 so as to make contact with the body 20.
  • the shielding layer 12 is earthed by the body 20.
  • a stopping member 44 (see Figure 2) is formed by cutting out a portion of the anterior end of the tubular portion 41 of the earthing member 40, this stopping member 44 being stopped by a stopping groove 38 formed on the smaller diameter portion 32 of the holder 30. Consequently, the earthing member 40, in use, is retained in the smaller diameter portion 32 of the holder 30.
  • the larger diameter portion 36 of the holder 30 carries a waterproofing ring 39 which waterproofs the space between the holder 30 and the electric wire 10.
  • the ring 39 is fitted within the end of the larger diameter portion 36 and is prevented from being removed by means of a cap 45.
  • the end of the outer sheath 11 of the electric wire 10 is located within this larger diameter portion 36, the outer peripheral face of the outer sheath 11 fitting tightly with the waterproofing ring 39.
  • a correcting ring 46 is inserted between the outer sheath 11 and the shielding layer 12.
  • the correcting ring 46 is made from a resilient material e.g. metal and, as shown in Figure 3, is tubular in shape.
  • a slit 47 in its peripheral face is open from its anterior to posterior ends, the slit 47 enabling the diameter of the correcting ring to be altered.
  • the correcting ring 46 is first attached to the end of the electric wire 10. At this point, the slit 47 of the correcting ring 46 can be made narrower and the correcting ring 46 will correspondingly decrease in diameter. Consequently, the correcting ring 46 can be inserted into the outer sheath 11 without making the outer sheath 11 any larger. Once inserted the radius of the correcting ring 46 increases and it returns to its original shape within the outer sheath 11; this returning force exerting tension on the outer sheath 11 to increase its radius, thus correcting the outer sheath 11 to a circular shape.
  • the cap 45, the waterproof ring 39, and the earthing member 40 are attached in turn from the anterior end of the electric wire, the barrel member 42 of the earthing member 40 being clamped to the shielding member 12. These are then inserted into the holder 30, the cap 45 being fitted to the anterior end thereof.
  • the larger diameter portion 36 of the holder 30 is fitted with the waterproofing ring 39, the end of the outer sheath 11 of the electric wire 10 being located at the inner side of the waterproofing ring 39.
  • the correcting ring 46 corrects the end of the outer sheath 11 to a circular shape of a specified size, and the waterproofing ring 39 and the outer sheath 11 are thereby stabilised and maintained in a tightly fitted state.
  • the outer periphery of the waterproofing ring 39 and the inner peripheral face of the holder 30 also join in a stable manner. Consequently, water can reliably be prevented from entering the body 20 via the space between the electric wire 10 and the holder 30.
  • the holder 30 is attached to the aperture 21 of the body 20.
  • the inner peripheral face of the insertion through hole 21 is attached to the resilient members 43 of the earthing member 40, the shielding layer 12 being earthed by the body 20, and the rubber ring 34 is fitted to the holder 30 making the outer opening of the aperture 21 waterproof. In this manner, water is prevented from entering the aperture 21.
  • the waterproofing means of the present embodiment even though the shape of the outer sheath 11 tends to be unstable in the case of an electric wire 10 provided with a plurality of insulated wire cores 13, said sheaths 11 can be maintained in a specified shape by the correcting ring 46 and consequently the waterproofing ring 39 can fit stably and tightly to the outer peripheral face of the electric wire 10, thereby improving the waterproofing function.
  • the correcting ring 46 of the present embodiment is provided with a slit 47 which allows the radius of the correcting ring 46 to be decreased. Consequently, the correcting ring 46 is easily inserted into the interior of the outer sheath 11.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above with the aid of figures.
  • the possibilities described below also lie within the technical range of the present invention.
  • the present invention may be embodied in various other ways without deviating from the scope thereof.
